 Part 5 – Forbidden Love



Another lovely year passed, but that year felt a bit different to Bon Bon, her best friend, or whom she called as her best mare, went to the college. Lyra moved to Canterlot to continue her study in Canterlot Magic College, Bon Bon felt very lonely. Graduation day had arrived in her calendar, but Lyra is still in the college, she wore her graduation robe, combed her mane and put on the graduation hat. With lonely heart, she set off to the school, attending the graduation.

Meanwhile in Canterlot, Lyra was studying in the University Library. The library was huge, with lots of books ranged from small guides like ‘Breathing Guide’ to ‘Magical of Magic’, every single book in Equestria were there, except for the secret books which were stored in the Castle Library Tower. Lyra was searching some books for her project, ‘Equestria Myth Project’, Lyra lazily searched through the books in Mythology section, but one book drawn her attention, A big cyan book, looked more like a dictionary. She levitated the books slowly from the selves, and blew the dust away with her mouth, three big readable words were written on the cover, “MYTH : THE HUMAN”.

Bon Bon was on her way back to her house, she wasn’t in a happy state, the graduation went well but her heart did not. She felt alone, it had been like three months since Lyra left Ponyville. “Oh... Sweetie, you’re back, finally, what took you so long?”, Bon Bon’s mom widely opened the door for her daughter, “Nothing, Mom”, Bon Bon replied softly. “Aww..... sweetie, Lyra is staying in the college for only like... three years, but she is a smart mare, maybe one year would be enough for her, now cheer up, you can’t open your candy shop like that.”. Bon Bon took off her robe and changed to the apron, with a smiley face printed on it. “Okay, mom”, Bon Bon replied with a small smile, she prepared the pan and started baking the sugar.

While Bon Bon was serving the customers in her candy shop, Lyra had finished writing ten pages of “Human”. Lyra felt really proud of what she had written on the papers, she cheerfully danced over the failed papers on the floor. But she couldn’t dance longer since the librarian kicked her out, she mumbled a bit and rushed back to the college. She quickly ran to the Dean’s office, handed her papers cheerfully. The Dean read Lyra’s papers carefully, “Interesting”, The Dean told her, “But, Lyra. I remembered I told the class to write a project about Equestria’s Myth, not parallel world.”, Lyra’s grin turned into an angry frown. “Do you mean this is not accepted?”, Lyra asked her Dean angrily, “ That’s what I would like to say”, the Dean replied calmly to her. Lyra’s anger almost reached the peak, “I quit”, she yelled and closed the door hardly, “Lyra.. Lyra, smart mare with silly personality, I knew she wouldn’t survive long here.”

To cover her sadness, Bon Bon made candy more than usual. That time, candy was the only thing that could cheer her up beside of Lyra. She was just taking out the warm candy dough from the oven when suddenly a cyan furball crashed into the kitchen through the window, “What in the hay... Lyra? What’re you doin’ here? What about your college?”, Lyra stood up and cleaned the dust from her coat, “Well... Bon Bon, I quited from the college, it wasn’t as fun as I thought.”. Lyra slowly levitated a broom and cleaned the glass shard on the floor, “Lyra, but..”, the unicorn closed her mare friend’s mouth with her hoof, “Shhh...”.

Lyra slowly stared into Bon Bon’s eyes, their eyes meet, Bon Bon felt small urge on her lips, and so did Lyra. Slowly they closed their eyes and their lips began to met in passion. They kissed softly, the atmosphere felt so warm, their first kiss in the kitchen. They then opened their eyes, and hugged each other, but something wasn’t right, the door was open, and Bon Bon’s mom was standing at the door. “Mom.. this wasn’t what you think, it is... uh... “, Bon Bon tried to speak, but the condition didn’t help her much. But surprisingly, Bon Bon’s mom looked very calm, her face didn’t show any kind of anger or sadness, instead she showed a big grin. The two was staring at Bon Bon’s mom awkwardly as she picked up the phone and phoned somepony.

Bon Bon’s mom rolled the phone number, and started yelling as soon as the receiver picked up the phone. “Hah! I win! You owe me fifty bits now Elsa.”, Lyra quickly approached Bon Bon’s mom and asked a question, “Wha.. Why are you calling my mom?”.  Bon Bon’s mom slowly closed the phone and smiled to the two confused love mare, she told them to sat down and started to explain everything. “Well... you see... Me and Elsa... I mean your Mom, maybe we should talk about this tomorrow, is that alright? Lovebird.”, Bon Bon’s mom wave her hoof to the couple and trotted cheerfully out from the kitchen.

The next day, Bon Bon’s mom and Bon Bon went to Lyra’s house. Lemon Cube, Bon Bon’s mom was trotting happily while her kid was trotting slowly following her mom. Slowly they arrived in front of a big brown house, Lemon pressed the doorbell twice and a mare opened the front door. Elsa Heartstrings, Lyra’s mom was showing a grumpy face to her two guests, she unhappily greeted the two of them inside. Lyra was sitting on the sofa and welcomed both of them.After all of them sat down, Elsa levitated a pouch of bits and handed those to Lemon, she received it cheerfully and put it in her saddlebag. “Explain, now” Lyra started to speak after the two mares finished their transaction, “What is with all of these, are you selling me or something like that, Mom?”

“Well.. Sweetie” Lemon replied softly to Lyra, “When both of you started to be friends, we could see something strange between your relationship, we’re fully grown mares after all. I think both of you were lesbian”. Elsa then continued Lemon’s word, ”and... at first, I thought two of you were just normal friends, but Lemon didn’t agree with me, so we made a bet.”, “And I won, fifty bits flew straight into my pocket now.” Lemon cut Elsa and laughed happily, but Elsa wasn’t happy with that “Yeah.. yeah...” she replied sarcastically.

“Are you two serious? You used your daughters as a bet?”, Bon Bon shouted loudly at those grown mares, Lemon softly replied to her daughter, “Nah-ah ah... sweetie, it was all just a small fun in friendship. Don’t take it seriously, alright?”, “Kay, Mom” Bon Bon replied to her mom. “Wait a minute... if you two already know about this, does it mean that you two agree with our relationship?”, Lyra asked curiously to them, Elsa giggled to her daughter and replied, “If we don’t agree about it, why would made a bet about it?”.

“How about dad?” Bon Bon interrupted their talk, “both of your father are also fine with that.”, Lyra then asked another question, but her question was stopped by a hoof blocking her mouth, “Na-ah... enough question, we know everything already and we’re fine with that, oh you little lovebirds”, Elsa then moved her hoof away from her daughter’s mouth. The two lovebirds laughed joyfully, they were happy that their relationship wasn’t a problem at all, but how about the ponyvillians?
